Childcare, my personal recommendation and a spotlight on Kids & Company

When it comes to partnering with brands, organizations and companies on Nesting Story, I make sure that each partnership is authentic, and is in line with my family’s beliefs, morals and daily routines.

Occasionally I will find something new and exciting through a partnership and other times I am over the moon when I can partner with a company who has been a part of our lives for a while. This is the case for my partnership with Kids & Company.

Kids and company has been a part of our family’s life for two years now. We have built special relationships with their staff and have shared huge millstones with them. Partnering with Kids & Company has been and continues to be one of my favorite collaborations to date.

Deciding on childcare is a massive decision and hearing what works for someone you trust can make a big difference in making that decision. Today I wanted to simply share with you a little more about the daycare that we love.

Kids & Company provides an innovative, nurturing and stimulating environment where children develop independence, confidence and a positive sense of self and the world around them. The emergent curriculum provides structure and flexibility for kids to pursue their interests and skills and is designed to involve children in experiences that enhance language, literacy, music, movement, art and socialization. Programming includes: • Alpha-Mania (pre-literacy and early reading) • Mini Masters (art) • Munchkinetics (movement) • Science and exploration • French • Sign language

There is part-time and full-time child care for infants up to “big kids” (before and after school care, as well as camp days for breaks and summer.

All of the meals and snacks are planned by a chef and nutritionist and prepared fresh daily in the Kidco Kitchen. There is a focus on diversity, nutrition and family-style dining in our meal options and approach to food. Part of the curriculum also incorporates learning about food, where it comes from and how our bodies use it.

Care with Kids & Company comes with a long list of perks for families – things like parent workshops and family fun days, personalized blankets, complimentary care for occasional shopping days and date nights, a vetted babysitter’s list for evening care at every centre, daily reports, secure webcams, weekly and monthly newsletters and more.

All centres are dedicated to providing parents with reliable, flexible and enriched superior quality child care solutions to suit the needs of each individual child and family. In many cities, Kids & Company also works with corporations to provide benefits to their employees for harmonious work-life integration.

There are over 100 locations across Canada and the US including a small number of community-focused centres in Edmonton run under the Kidco Community name. All of the centre addresses and contact information can be found at www.Kidsandcompany.com under Locations.
